Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

About 100 (50 from TMU Hospital and 50 from Wellcome Clinic) current smokers will be recruited who contact smoke cession clinics in teaching hospitals of Taipei Medical University (TMU) and Wellcome Clinic. They will be randomly assigned either to Usual Care (UC) or Usual Care plus 3M4Chan Intervention group (IG). A randomized comparative effectiveness trial will be conducted. Patient will enroll from September 2017 to May 2018. In UC group, the physician provides a brief advice to quit during first consultation, a quit plan template, and medication prescription (Varenicline, Bupropion, Champix, Nicotinell TTS20) as decided by the physician. IG group includes UC plus a mobile App that is programmed to push tailored messages for health concern and readiness to quit, tips for sustaining abstinence, use of interactive self-assessments, helpful cessation information. This group of smokers will benefit from tailored cessation interventions with integrated body weight management elements that take into consideration the prevailing local and cultural influences on diet and levels of physical activity. IG will be continued even after stopping of the UC.
